good things
Things have been going well over all. Last weekend was fun. Julz mom had her 50th party adn the food was damn good and it was a good time.
This week fencing has been going really well. I think i might be impressing my coach, which really excites me. I need to work on my technique but he has noticed that i see what i need to see when i fence and do the right action in response. My footwork isnt what it needs to be tho, but i didnt grow up with footwork drills and now i have one. He says he saw my hand had gotten faster and my footwork was fine for the level i was at and tonite he was talking about improving my footwork to get me to the next level. this kind of talk makes me think that maybe i really do have what it takes to be good and with practice it will happen. I just need to put in the time and the work and the practice. I need to do strength training and things like that and just conditioning so i dont get tired easily. But this is really encouraging me to keep going and maybe i will do really well this year.
On a side note my job is cool. Its been letting me discover new music that i need to get at somepoint. This week i have found Storyhill. its a folk duo and they are pretty good.
its good stuff.
"We slept out sleepless nights alone wonderin what its all for
And so we found each other here
Still we lie awake at night and we talk about the things
that we would only talk about behind closed doors
And if I could i would lie awake with you every night and all night evermore
And if i could i would write your name on every grain of sand on every shore"
